I just tried this on my Windows machine and it doesn't work. The reason,
I *think* it doesn't work is that I don't have permission to write into
those directories on my machine. (Although I don't get any errors when I
try to save the files to those directories.) I have the same problem
when I make any change in a lib file. I have to move the file to a
directory I own to make the change.

I presume this has to do with permissions on these directories, and I
presume I have permission to change those permissions. But, I have no
idea how to go about this. Any ideas?

Cheers,

David

P.S. I just confirmed that even though it appeared I was able to write
into those two directories, nothing in the two directories (as
determined by the data modified property) was changed.
